Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey will testify before the Senate
Judiciary Committee that his social media platform is not biased against conservatives,
according to AFP, which obtained remarks prepared by him.

Twitter, along with Facebook, is subject of a Senate hearing
over their allegedly limiting the reach of the conservative handles, and also
tweets by President Donald Trump.

The hearing was in part triggered by Twitter’s suspending
the account of New York Post, after the paper published a story which
implicated President-elect Joe Biden in a deal involving a quid pro quo with a
Ukrainian private gas company.

The social media company had later reinstated the newspaper’s account, which
was celebrated by the paper with the headline: “We are back”.

As per his remarks, Dorsey has claimed that his company is
not engaged in any selective filtering of content by conservative account.  

“In the lead up to the 2020 elections, we made
significant enhancements to our policies to protect the integrity of the
election,” Dorsey said according to a report by AFP. 

“We applied
labels to add context and limit the risk of harmful election misinformation
spreading without important context because the public told us they wanted us
to take these steps,” he said.

Since the election results in early days of November, Trump
has been insisting that he has won the election despite numbers going against
him.

In the aftermath of the election and consequent allegations of its rigging, many of Trump’s tweets have been flagged by Twitter as being based on unsubstantiated or false claims.

“We want to be very clear that we do not see our job in this
space as done,” Dorsey said.

“Our work here continues and our teams are learning and
improving how we address these challenges and
earn the trust of the people who use Twitter.”

Dorsey is to appear before
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairperson Lindsay Graham on Tuesday at 7 am PST.
